Gum

By | Shopping, Travel | No Comments

After the Kremlin, we walked a few minutes to get to the Red Square and to where the shopping center was, Gum.  It was raining so it was quite gloomy and there were still scaffoldings in the red square since they just had some ceremonies in the area

Celebrating 120 years

Several scooping stations around the mall gum-14.JPG gum-15.JPG gum-3.JPG

We tried this one since Sasa recommended it – bragging about the dairy from Russia which is supposedly very fresh and very good gum-11.JPG gum-10.JPG gum-8.JPG gum-9.JPG

Richard calls this “The feel good store.”  You will find everything 3 to 4 times the price in here compared to Izmaelova! 🙂  Previous entry:  Izmaelova October 30, 2013 gum-5.JPG

We were so excited we thought we saw Tessa in the mall! 🙂 gum-13.jpg

We took a peep outside the mall

Photo opportunity with St. Basil’s Cathedral.  Because the weather was not so good, we were trying to just take photos from one of the entrances of the mall

Then we decided to just go near since we don’t do this all the time! 🙂  Beautiful exteriors but they say not so nice inside, so we just took a group photo 🙂  Trying to hide the umbrellas but they still came out in the photo! haha

There is a diorama in the lobby of the hotel which they purchased at an auction

It’s a good idea to come here before you visit the Kremlin and there is a recording you can listen to to give you a background on the city

I took a photo with people so you can see the scale of the diorama

It highlights and talks about the different monuments and buildings in the area – so it is a good short and quick tour already
